I just wiped the DB and put it back online again.

I did fix it, but had to rewrite a lot of the PHP backend, which took a couple days.

And yes, I did release another website with SQL injection... It was a personal website for my brother and the pagination was vulnerable. I had written a simple CMS for it, but Instead of a password I just generated an obscure URL with completely open access to edit the DB directly.

The pagination got hacked but I fixed it pretty quickly (by checking the page number was in fact a number).

Surprisingly the CMS never got hacked before I moved him over to WordPress.

Younger me learned a lot of web dev lessons the hard way.

ETA: This was all when I was a teen and I had nobody in my life to teach me these things. I was self taught from a PHP book from the library.
